I’m voting democratic so I can help support the thousands of professionally unemployed (noooo – not the legitimately unemployed), bleeders of the system. You know….those that cant wait to find out where there next freebie is coming from….In their wonderful world where babies aren’t counted in pounds, they are counted in dollars and cents they are worth per month….OHHH the beauty of it all……..

If you vote for Oblamer, you are voting for the demise of America.
Fact; Obama told Joe the plumber that he wants to share the wealth.
Fact; sharing the wealth is Socialism.
Fact; Socialism works fine until you run out of other peoples money.
I worked for 46 years and now my tax money is being used to buy votes from down and out people that are on welfare and food stamps and to support illegals, (medical care, food, housing, etc.)
The country is 16 trillion dollars in debt. We just can’t afford Oblamer any more.

Tom Kogan seems not to understand that every government expenditure at every level — federal, state or local — is a case of sharing the wealth.

The government takes money from some people by way of taxes and spends it — presumably or ostensibly, depending upon your point of view — for the common good. The money goes for public safety, economic development, national defense, courts, education, research, infrastructure, environmental and consumer protection, etc., etc. In short, it goes for efforts to “promote the general welfare,” as the Constitution puts it.

Some of these expenditures directly benefit the general populace, and some directly benefit relatively few people or businesses or other institutions. But all of them, as I say, are examples of sharing the wealth.

doc: So you think paying for public safety, economic development, national defense, courts, education, research, infrastructure, environmental and consumer protection, etc., etc. should be “voluntary.”
